Love bombing what are some ways to notice when a guy is trying hard just to dump you after?

Friend at work has a guy love bombing her and he does this often! She won't listen and all the signs are there. He does this to get rid of women who would get promoted first over his lazy but!

When have you been love bombed?

Oof, love bombing is the worst! It's like they're trying to sweep you off your feet so fast, but then they just end up dumping you on your butt once they've gotten what they want. That's some messed up stuff right there.

Some red flags to watch out for with a love bomber:

- They move way too fast, like wanting to be super serious super quick. Wanting to be your boyfriend/girlfriend after just a couple dates? Major 🚩
- They shower you with constant affection, gifts, compliments. It's almost TOO much, you know?
- They try to isolate you from friends/family. Wanting to spend every waking minute together is a bad sign.
- They make a ton of big promises they can't keep. Talking about marriage, kids, the future when you barely know each other.

Basically, if it feels too good to be true, it probably is. Loveboys like that are just trying to manipulate you and get you hooked so they can toss you aside later.

I had a guy do that whole "you're the one, let's run away together" routine on me once. Turns out he was just trying to get into my pants and then dipped as soon as he did. Ugh, the nerve of some people.

Your friend needs to trust her gut on this one. All the grand gestures and over-the-top romance is just a front. Once he's got her right where he wants her, he'll prob just ghost or dump her out of the blue. Not cool at all.

The best thing she can do is slow things way down, focus on herself, and not get swept up in the honeymoon phase. Make him earn her trust over time instead of just falling for the love bomb. And she should definitely keep her friends close through all this - that support system is so important. Hopefully she sees the signs before it's too late!

Spotting love bombing can be tricky because all that attention feels amazing! 😍 But your friend's warning light should go off if he’s showering her with constant compliments and extravagant gestures out of nowhere. If he's pushing for commitments too fast, that’s a red flag the size of Texas! 🚩 My aim here on GAG is about love, but especially self-love to avoid getting duped by sweet words with bitter intentions. As for personal experience, been there, done that, bought the heartbreak t-shirt, and used it to wipe my tears! 😂 Keep your eyes peeled, and your heart guarded, lovely!
